End of Training

In case I didn't make it clear last month, I really enjoyed training (I know this post is a little late). I have some pictures of the kids I taught over in Kowloon Tong for our two week training period. They were great sports, what with coming in during the summer to have a bunch of knuckleheads "teach" them English. Anyway, photos!

Here's how our training was structured. In the morning, we learned about the "Smatteris Approach To Teaching." In the afternoon, we taught or co-taught two 45 minute lessons, with a 15-20 minute break in between. We were given "mingling tasks" to complete during the breaks. They included things like "do a magic trick and take a photo" and, "ask a student what they think about the leaders of China and god and the bible." I'm happy to report that I successfully completed each and every one of my mingling tasks, as documented by these candid photographs.

I've got your nose! (magic trick)

Dirty ears! (2nd magic trick)

Look at us actually playing sports!
